“Do you think my tattoo is cool?” No, I don’t. There are no cool tattoos. “Check out my sleeve!” Oh god ew.

Tattoos themselves are stupid. Doubly so if it’s some media IP. “I put Batman on my body!” “Look at this image of Goku on my calf!” I can’t think of many things I’d want to do less than that.

There are a few narrow exceptions. Chances are yours isn’t one of them.

If you personally like tattoos, fine. I’m not saying nobody should get tattoos because I don’t like them. I’m stating my opinion that tattoos are stupid, and I am stating it here because it is probably not a popular opinion.

    Employers aren’t looking for the best possible candidate for a job. They’re looking for an easy to find candidate who is good enough and doesn’t have major issues working long term.

    Nowadays, employers get far more applications than they can reasonably deal with, thanks to AI. They have to find some way to narrow it down.

    I remember hearing about a hiring manager who threw out every resume of candidates who mentioned having been a lifeguard. Not for every position, but just for one day of sifting through resumes. There were hundreds of applicants for the one job and almost everyone’s resume was enough to qualify them, and he didn’t have the time to interview everyone, so he just used weird random methods to narrow it down.
